CPJ has been watching the Maldives with concern since its
first democratically-elected President Mohamed Nasheed relinquished power in February
following what he describes as a military coup. New President Mohamed Waheed Hassan
says Nasheed's resignation was voluntary and refuted
criticism that his rule marked a return to the ways of former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom, a dictator notorious for jailing his
critics, according to CPJ research. Yet press freedom is
deteriorating under Hassan with the rise of partisan political strife and
religious conservatism.
